RE: A strange tree


I think its what you call Palo verde,  We call it  Parkinsonia or Jerusalem
Thorn.  Its very beautiful, drought tolerant but it has some mean thorns!

Subject: A strange tree


	I ran across a very strange tree here in San is Obispo  CA.

	It has many micro-leaves.

	It has five petalled flowers with a superficial resemblance to a
small orchid.

	I was going to take a picture of the tree but (ugh!) my battery was
too low!

	The tree is spreading and about 20 feet tall.

	I'll go take one tomorrow.

	I took a sample of the tree and scanned them.

	They are at the bottom of the page.

	I would appreciate finding out what it is.	---Chas---
